Baby Diapers for Big People

Why is it that baby diapers seem to be so much better than their adult counterparts? Goodnites seem to be much more absorbant than Depends "disposable underwear" The real problem I have is that I am a 6 foot four guy who weighs about 200lbs. I found I can stuff myself into goodnites. I have found that the boxer variety also fit if I cut off all of the shorts material and just leave the diaper and waist material. I think it's kind of babyish which I love and absorbs fairly well even though they dont come all the way over my hips. Right now I have a pair covered by a classy comfort which is absolutely wonderful. My question is: are there other ways to modify baby diapers to fit full grown adults?

Well carnesar lets not forget that adult diapers are worn by adults with medical problems, well mainly thats the reason. And the last thing a person wants who is suffering with incontinence is to feel even more babyish then already feel. When my incontinence came about , I hated the fact i had it and was embaressed beyond embaressed . I felt like a baby wetting myself with no controll. The last thing i wanted at the time was to feel even more babyish then i felt right then. However over time i grew to like the feel and chose to enjoy it rather then be depressed about it.

Now to answer your question. The main reason diaper companys dont make the cute baby designs on their diapers is becuase of the reason stated above. Babys are cute and should have cute diapers. The reason they hold alot is becuse a baby has no choice when they get changed, where as a adult usualy does if he/she is only suffering from inco they can change themselfs. So baby diapers are thicker and more absorbent for that reason , and thicker for the reason of they dont need to hide their diapers in public its what they wear and what people expect to see on them. However could you imaigne what it would be like to have a replica of a baby diaper , that was made for a adult? We would waddle and it would come down mid thigh . We would never be bale to hide the fact we are wearing the diaper. AB/DL's might like the idea but in reality this is not acceptable from incontinent people who are tryong to hide it and take care fo their problem. Hope this helps you undestand.

And yes i would love one those baby pampers in a adult size but thats me and not most incontinent people around

I'm not really worried about babyish designs even though I definitely prefer the plastic backed diapers over the ones with the soft outer cover. It just seems that adult diapers should be able to absorb more since adults are capable of wetting so much more. I mean, a little goodnites pull-up can hold as much if not more than a depends meant for full-grown men and women. Perhaps that's something that diaper companies need to take into account, that maybe protection is more desireable than discression.

Well like i said a adult cna change when they wet the diaper. It should never get that full if a adult wears them. a baby has to wait for someone to change them and need to hold alot for this reason. If you ever go the hospital and see a diaper there, they are much thicker and very noticable under clothing. because a paitent usualy doesnt change their own diapers there. there are alot of diapers that are thick beyond thick. try molicares originals , or abena x-plus. But if you want a diaper that will last the whole day for sure then go to dry-24-7 .com they are the most absorbent diaper i have ever had or worn never been able to make em leak yet even with mulitple wettings they just hold more.

Yeah, I've read elsewhere that dry 24/7 diapers are really absorbant. I also know someone who uses them because one of their teenage children has developmental problems and the dry 24/7's are cheaper and wont leave their teen leaking on his clothes. It just seems that depends should be able to handle at least one really heavy wetting on its own without leaking. I have'nt really gotten to try many other brands though. I tried attends in the mid 90's and remember the tapes were about worthless. The classy comforts are great. So are the walgreens brand "briefs" as well. I still haven't tried any of the new attends, the molicares, the abriforms, tenas or the mediprime eurobrief yet. (I don't get to wear often so it takes me awhile to use a case) Hopefully one of the brands I just mentioned will give me the experience I'm looking for. I am also curious about cloth diapers as well but am waiting until I have some more privacy when it comes to washing them.

I am trying to find where to bye bigger size diapers i use huggies size 6 at the moment but heard that u can get size 7 diapers is that true

Yes pampers makes a size 7. Not all stores have the 7 though. I got some at the grocery store. Just have to shop around.

Time to move to adolescent sized diapers. They are available at any of the hospital supply stores.

Or online at bambinodiapers.com or abuniverse.com

I've been wearing the plastic depends with six tapes size s/m. Every now and then they spring a leak, the waist chart on the package says up to 34". Thats me, should i go up to the next size allowing more capacity or would that leave gaps around the leg bands ? Any suggestions might save me a few bucks.

My honest opinion, is get different diapers (if you can) If you are able to order online and are ok with having them shipped to you try disposable medical express. They have some very good brands, and free shipping on orders over $25. If you cant do the online order thing, then try adding slits to the backing of one (vertical slits on each side of the wetness indicator about 1 inch long and about one inch apart from front to back) and then a second over the top of that, you go through more diapers but they dont leak as much, hold more, and honestly, depends arent that thick so 2 of them would only be noticed under something tight. It works but i am also not to worried about if someone finds out, i do wear Tranq ATNs under skirts and tranqs make noise. Hope that helps
